“Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before
my Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 10:29–32).

"We live in a complex world with daily challenges. There is a tendency to feel
detached, even isolated, from the Giver of every good gift. We worry that we
walk alone. From the bed of pain, from the pillow wet with the tears
of loneliness, we are lifted heavenward by that divine assurance and precious promise,
“I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee” (Joshua 1:5)

Such comfort is priceless as we journey along the pathway of mortality, with its many forks and turnings. Rarely is the assurance communicated by a flashing sign or a loud voice. Rather, the language of the Spirit is gentle, quiet, uplifting to the heart, and soothing to the soul.

At times, the answers to our questions and the responses to our daily prayers
come to us through silent promptings of the Spirit. As William Cowper wrote:

God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants his footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm. …
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust him for his grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.
(Hymns, 1948, number 48)
